Mail is super slow

[lpress]

I just got a new laptop running Vista. I imported my large, Outlook
Express address book and thousands of old emails into Vista Mail.

It reads mail fine, but sending is incredibly slow. When I open a new
message window, CPU usage jumps to 100% and it is "not respoding" for
a couple minutes.

Eventually it lets me compose the message, but when I send it, the
same thing happens.

Is this caused by some sort of virus scanning or what?????

Make sure your antivirus is not configured to scan emails.
Which antivirus are you running? Some are not very compatible
with Windows Mail.
